Warmachine Call to Arms League
We are about to start the Call to Arms League at Sunshine. What day works best for everyone. I was thinking of running it on Thursdays.
Call to Arms Leagues are 4 tours taking place thoughout 2009, each of which span five fast and furious weeks of brutal WARMACHINE and HORDES action in your local game store or club. Each league tour is story based, has its own unique prize support, and online dispatches complete with evolving story lines and special rules! The league is a great way for players to challenge themselves, show off hobby skills, and have serious fun. Leagues are ideally suited to groups of eight or more players who regularly meet at a hobby store or gaming club where they can play whenever they wish.
The main concept of the Leagues is that each player pairs off to play as often as possible. Throughout the League, players are encouraged to head down to their local gaming venue and play as many games as they wish against the other players participating in each Tour.
A player scores League Points for each game that he plays. These Points are tracked to determine the player's standing in the League. A player's League Point total determines his placement on the League leader board or Ladder. The player with the highest League Point total is the top player on the Ladder and the player with the lowest Point total is on the bottom rung of the Ladder.
League games can be played at 500-, 750-, 1000- 1500-, or even 2000-point levels. Increasing the point level of a game from 500-points requires the consent of both players. Players score extra League points for playing in larger point games due to the greater time commitment required for large-scale games.
The League play environment is constantly changing, with new Global Effects, Bounties, maps, terrain features, and scenarios weekly. Global Effects are special rules based on the Tour that modify all games played that week. Bounties are challenges that may be accomplished to score bonus League Points. This information is available in Weekly Dispatches posted at the official Privateer Press Call to Arms Tour website: http://dispatch.privateerpress.com
Awards are medals and prizes at the end:
Relentless Medal - This medal is awarded to the player who destroyed the most enemy models in a single turn.
Eliminator Medal - This medal is awarded to the player who destroyed the most enemy warcasters/warlocks with warjacks/warbeasts. (meaning the killing blow was dealt by awarjack/warbeast)
Strategist Medal - This medal is awarded to the player who won the most games in 4 rounds or less.
Warlord Medal - This medal is awarded to the player that is at the top of the leader board at the end of the tour.
Who is planning on participating?

Re: Warmachine Call to Arms League
I think I would like to.
My only concern is the number of games I would be able to participate in. I think I could only dedicate one night a week to it, squeezing in as many games as possible in that night (and going home at a reasonable time).

Re: Warmachine Call to Arms League
We would hold it on one night a week and only those games would count. As many as you can play before they throw us out.
